About This Novel

Mo Yan once said frankly: "You don't have to read all my works, but if you want to understand me, you should read my "Big Breasts and Wide Hips." This book is a magnificent "epic" novel written by Mo Yan in 1995. The author uses the mother's life as a microcosm to restore the ups and downs of modern China over a century, and describes the fate of the mother and the many children she gave birth to in a multi-layered manner. The mother in the article suffered a lot. She took great pains to raise her nine children and her daughters' children, and used her life to protect her children during the war and to escape famine. Her daughters grew up one by one, joining different political forces with the men they fell in love with, and were irresistibly drawn into the stage of political history. The competition and fighting, sacrifice and indifference, glory and shame among various forces are projected within this big family. Ups and downs, mother has always been like a hard river bed, bearing everything and protecting everything. She witnessed war and hunger, as well as absurdity and shame. With extraordinary imagination and magical realism, Mo Yan recorded the suffering history of a family, the history of a country's changes, and the suffering history of a nation. The suffering is extremely painful, absurd, and magical. Here, love and desire, life and death, blood and flesh, hunger, thirst and luxury all burst out in a magical realism way...

Read the whole article Big Breasts and Big Butts

This book tells a lot about the true side of human nature, desire and family affection, bravery and cowardice. The stage in the 1990s was crueler than we imagined. In 2021, it is not easy for young people to live a good life in this era. Anxiety and stress are everywhere around them, which can easily make people breathe heavily. However, you must also know how to cherish your current life, which is at least much better than that era. Don't be too greedy, adjust your mentality, choose a way that suits you, improve yourself, and live the life you want!

This book is not suitable for reading before going to bed, because it is so exciting. A big melon rolls out of almost every chapter, which will make you more and more excited as you read, and it keeps attracting you to read page after page. When Shangguan Jintong reached middle age, I automatically put the look of Grandpa Mo Yan on Jintong, hahaha. I think the whole book is written with simple and real human nature. When I read it, my heart was filled with sympathy, heartache and shock.

Okay, shocked

I don't know how to evaluate it. It's so vivid that I can't even imagine it. The ugliness of human nature and the current situation of society are vivid and vivid. The reality is not boring. It's worth savoring. I can satirize several kinds of people in one sentence. I read it all night long. I deserve the Nobel Prize. Why are there still people holding on to the title of the book? I think the title of the book is very good (I don't dare to comment on how good it is, but it is good anyway). Also, this book is really cheap (although it cannot be measured in terms of money). I won't say it anymore. My eyes hurt and I fell asleep.

Severe pain rolling like a slug

Shangguan Lu nodded. She heard another gunshot high in the air, several dogs barking timidly, and Sima Ting's shouts came intermittently: "Folks, run quickly, if you run too late, you will die..." As if in response to Sima Ting's shouts, she felt a burst of punches and kicks in her belly, severe pain rolling like a lump, sweat seeping out from every pore, exuding a light fishy smell. She gritted her teeth to prevent the scream from escaping her mouth. Through the hazy tears, she saw her black-haired mother-in-law kneeling in front of the shrine in the main room, inserting three purple-red sandalwood sticks into the incense burner of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The incense curled up, and the aroma filled the whole room.

I agree with regarding Shangguan Jintong as the embodiment of a certain type of intellectual in contemporary China. I admit without hesitation that Shangguan Golden Boy is my spiritual reflection, and a philosopher I admire once said: There seems to be a little Shangguan Golden Boy hidden deep in the souls of contemporary Chinese intellectuals.

It can only be said that sometimes literary works that win awards are not only those with positive energy, but there are also some dark stories hidden in the corners that we don't know about, which can also arouse us deep emotions.

Tell the truth

When I saw the title, it didn't seem like a serious book, so I looked at the content out of curiosity

Fan San

He took out the mucus from the colt's mouth, cut the umbilical cord with a knife, pulled a knot, and carried it to a clean place. I asked for a dry cloth and wiped the mucus off its body. Shangguan Lu had tears in her eyes and muttered: "Thank God for Fan San, thank God for Fan San..." The little mule stood up tremblingly, then fell down. Its fur is as smooth as silk, and its lips are purple, like rose petals. Fan San helped it up and said: "Well done, it is indeed my son. The horse is my son. Little guy, you are my grandson and I am your grandfather. Sister-in-law, make some rice soup and feed it to my donkey daughter-in-law. It saved its life."
